Spotlight from Farid Ikhlef, Human Resources Director at Bel Morocco & North Africa Cluster
In a constantly changing agri-food sector, employee experience relies on companies' ability to combine human commitment, innovation, positive impact, and talent development.
Farid Ikhlef, Human Resources Director at Bel Morocco & North Africa Cluster, discusses the strengths of Bel Maroc, his vision of the employee experience, and the tools put in place to strengthen its attractiveness and well-being at work.
Bel Maroc is a committed player in the agri-food industry, known for its iconic brands like The Laughing Cow and Kiri, which are deeply rooted in the daily lives of Moroccan consumers. Beyond its leadership in the portion cheese segment, the company stands out for its mission-driven business model, aiming to make healthier and more sustainable food accessible to everyone. Its approach combines economic performance with positive impact, thanks to a strong local industrial presence, close relationships with its customers and communities, and an innovative capacity that allows it to adapt to changing consumption patterns. As a historic subsidiary of the Bel Group in Morocco since the 1960s, Bel Maroc also places human capital development and corporate culture at the heart of its strategy.
At Bel Maroc, employee experience is based on a strong belief: empowering everyone to make a real impact and develop their leadership. The company operates in an organization where initiative is encouraged and where every employee can concretely contribute to projects and the company's transformation. This dynamic is supported by: a management culture based on trust and accountability; collaborative work environments that promote sharing and collective intelligence; and genuine proximity between teams and decision-makers. Talent development also plays a central role, through personalized career paths, opportunities for internal mobility, and training programs tailored to individual needs. What strongly characterizes the employee experience at Bel Maroc is also the meaning given to daily work: each employee contributes, at their level, to evolving the food model, thereby strengthening commitment and pride of belonging.
Well-being at work is an essential pillar of Bel Maroc's culture. As a family group, attention to employees is an integral part of its DNA, with the desire to create a positive, inclusive work environment that respects everyone's balance. Specifically, this translates into: a flexible work policy that promotes autonomy; programs dedicated to health, safety, and ergonomics; initiatives encouraging inclusion and diversity; employee benefits designed to support key moments in professional and personal life. Beyond these measures, Bel Maroc's attractiveness also relies on the promise made to talent: to join a company that takes action, innovates, and allows everyone to contribute to a meaningful project while building their own career path.
